    I crossposted this to lemmy.ml and it got like 10 downvotes right away lol. Westerners cannot fathom the possibility that a another country isn’t as evil as theirs is.

    I’ve been reading Losurdo lately, and part of the western project of whitewashing their own legacy, is to accuse others of their own faults, even their own specific faults.

    IE the anti-semitism rampant in the west and Germany must be associated also with the USSR and Stalin. Nowdays, the islamophobia and bombing of muslim countries that the west has been doing for decades must be associated with China.

      It’s really telling how libs have a completely unhinged reaction to anything that contradicts their preconceptions. Even when this information comes from mainstream liberal sources. It’s a really good illustration that these people are past the point where they can think rationally and adjust their world view based on the actual evidence. Liberalism is just a cult that’s no different from qanon, they just happen to have a different set of nonsensical beliefs.
